In my opinion it is purely a matter of luck. For some reason once in a while people's applications end up on top of the pile and get processed before the 6 months.MeredithN wrote:Hi All
We applied on the 26.2 Got the temporary stamp 4 weeks later...and then the postman brought a letter on the 2nd of April with the 5 year stamp... Even the immigration officer was shocked. I was expecting the entire process to take until September. No idea what are their criterias. But truth to be told I sent them ALL requested documents, so they can't ask for more
Anyway the immigration officer told me that it depends also on whether the EU citizen works full time in Ireland. In my case 10 year full time working record might have done the trick... Good luck to everyone who is waiting( and plenty of patience!! )
WHAT? OK, I gotcha! You are really lucky! HahahaMeredithN wrote:Hi All

I remember waiting for the temp residence card, for some reason we expected it would be quicker than the 8 weeks it actually took. It was a real misery checking the mailbox everyday and finding nothing. This time I've resolved to put it out of my mind until the full 6 months runs its course, it really isn't worth the Idiot spammer. Good luck people!
Really? I didn't notice that on my letter, thanks! I applied on 27th November, and they got all the documents they needed on 1st April, so I don't know why they just don't give a decision already.tastylentils wrote:Just an update -- posted some documents earlier in the week, and I had a letter confirming receipt on Friday. It specifically stated that a decision would be made based on the documents on file one day prior to the full decision date. So if you made an application on the 20th November you really shouldn't expect to receive anything until a day or so after that date. It's a bit of a pain for those who think they've already submitted enough documents but very fair for those who have been struggling to get all the documentation together.
Thank you, that's very interesting. I also got a letter on Friday, but it was to confirm the reception of additional documentation we sent in two weeks before. I get the feeling they send letters out in batches.tastylentils wrote:Just an update -- posted some documents earlier in the week, and I had a letter confirming receipt on Friday.

Did they request any further documentation from you?ch123 wrote:Hey. Just wanted to get an update from you guys. Has anyone heard from the INIS? We got a letter last week with an acknowledgement of receipt for further documents that we sent them last month. It says that the office will be in contact with you in due course of time. Do they mean when the six months are over?
If you received the letter on the day after a full moon night, then its definitely a positive sign.ch123 wrote:No they did not ask for any further documents. Is that a positive sign?
That is usually a good sign as they have everything they need. If you do not hear anything for a few weeks, email the section and ask is any documentation outstanding.ch123 wrote:No they did not ask for any further documents. Is that a positive sign?
